2.3 Connecting SoftStep
The SoftStep can talk to computers and tablets via USB, and MIDI hardware via MIDI cables (KMI MIDI
Expander required). Both methods can be used independently or simultaneously.
2.3.1 To A Computer
Connecting the SoftStep to a computer requires three things: a SoftStep, a computer, and a USB A
to USB B cable (the “classic” USB cable). Simply plug the SoftStep’s main USB port into a USB 2.0
(or greater) port on the computer. The SoftStep will receive power from the computer.
Note: The SoftStep can also be used with a USB hub connected to a computer. It is highly recommended
to use a powered USB hub, not a bus-powered hub. Bus-powered hubs may not be able to provide enough
power to the SoftStep to function properly.
